One approach is to use the implementation provided by gnulib.  See 
"https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/strerror_005fl.html".

The use of AC_REPLACE_FUNC is documented in the Automake manual at 
"https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/".

These approaches are most easily used by upstream maintainers.  If you 
come up with an appropriate patch, make sure to upstream it so the 
next VLC release just plain works.
